Study of clazakizumab for adults with high inflammation and heart risk
This study tests whether clazakizumab can reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes in people with high levels of inflammation (measured by a blood test called hsCRP) and conditions like heart disease, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or kidney disease. If you qualify, you'll receive either the study drug or a placebo to see if it helps lower your risk.
Lombard, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06511505Recruiting
Testing AI to find hidden heart conditions from ECGs
This study uses an AI tool to look at your ECG (a simple heart test) to help find early signs of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) or structural heart disease (changes in heart structure). It aims to see if the AI can help doctors catch these conditions sooner, even in people who don't yet have symptoms.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 40 years+ - NCT06271590Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for small heart artery blockages
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a drug (sirolimus) to treat blockages in small heart arteries. If the balloon is successful, it may help keep the artery open without needing a permanent stent.
Maywood, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT07157774RecruitingPhase 3
Muvalaplin for heart disease in people with high lipoprotein(a)
This study tests a new medicine called muvalaplin that lowers a specific type of cholesterol linked to heart disease. It aims to see if muvalaplin can reduce the risk of future heart attacks, strokes, or related procedures in people with high levels of this cholesterol.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07000357RecruitingPhase 3
Study of AZD0780 to reduce heart attack and stroke risk
This trial tests a new medication, AZD0780, to see if it helps prevent major cardiovascular events like heart attacks or strokes in people who already have heart or blood vessel disease, or are at high risk for a first event. It might be a good fit if your cholesterol isn't well-controlled despite current treatments.
Melrose Park, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06870591Recruiting
Heart measurement device study
This trial tests a new device that measures heart function without needing an invasive catheter. It aims to see if the device works as well as the standard right heart catheterization procedure.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06747806Recruiting

What taking part in a cardiovascular diseases study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
